St Michael’s school gathered in the church for our remembrance service. On arrival to church, the children were all given a poppy to hold.
Poppies were the first flowers to appear after the end of fighting in the First World War. We now use poppies as a visual reminder.
We remember those who have died and those who have been injured through war and fighting. We remember the importance of peace and avoiding war.
A school wreath was also laid by two of the Headies.
We remember that God remembers us always. Luke Chapter 12 and verses 6 – 7 says:
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. But even the hairs of your head are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows”
The school community had an opportunity to lay their poppies in an act of remembrance.
